Columns and Data Types

Formulas Required

The template relies on advanced Excel functions for dynamic reporting and KPI monitoring:

• Gross Profit: =SUMIF(Category, "Revenue", Actual) - SUMIF(Category, "COGS", Actual)
• Operating Income (EBIT): =Gross_Profit - SUMIF(Category, "Operating Expenses", Actual)
• Net Income: =EBIT + SUMIF(Category, "Non-Operating Items", Actual)
• Variance ($): =Actual - Budgeted
• Variance (%): =IF(Budgeted<>0, (Variance/ABS(Budgeted)), 0) (Avoids divide-by-zero errors)
• KPI Formula – Gross Profit Margin: =Gross_Profit / Revenue
• KPI Formula – Net Profit Ratio: =Net_Income / Revenue
• Revenue Growth Rate (MoM): =IF(Previous_Month_Revenue<>0, (Current_Month_Revenue - Previous_Month_Revenue)/Previous_Month_Revenue, 0)

Conditional Formatting

To enhance KPI visibility and support quick decision-making:

• Variance ($) & (%) Columns:
  • Red Fill (Text: “Over Budget”): If variance > 10% of budget
  • Yellow Fill (Text: “Caution”): If variance between -5% and +10%
  • Green Fill (Text: “On Target”): If variance ≤ -5%
• Net Income Cell:
  • If Net Income is negative and below a threshold (e.g., -5%), apply red text and bold font.
  • If above target, apply green highlight.
• KPI Indicator Cells (Dashboard): Use data bars or color scales for profit margin trends over time.
